michael5556 247 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 They should be straight forward but usually need a ball joint splitter for it too be easy. But some can be very very stuck on with a lot of swearing. If you can undo the castle but and get the end out it should be easy. Just use lots of penertrating fluid or wd40 etc..

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 You will probably befefit from a 4 wheel alignment from places such as stealth once you have replaced all those said components, if your rear axel bushes and wishbones aint been done yet, id get those done first, also check ARB drop links too.

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 http://stealthracing.co.uk/4wheel.php stealth use the Beissbarth VAG1813F alignment stuff, can do camber, toe, alignment etc... usual tyre places wont do that drop links are where your Anti Roll Bar is fixed to your lower arms...will look like Link to post Share on other sites
